Matt Riedemann 1a4cc6c96d Document using service user tokens for long running operations
A recent thread in the mailing list [1] reminded me that we
don't have any documentation for the service user token feature
added back in ocata under blueprint use-service-tokens.

This change adds a troubleshooting entry for when using service
user tokens would be useful, and links to it from two known
trouble spots: live migration timeouts and creating images.
